On punt returns, what ever happened to the "rule" that the punt returner puts his heels on the 10 yard line. More and more especially in college, I'm seeing punt returners making mistakes and giving their team bad field position.

There are pretty much 3 outcomes to letting the ball go over your head in that situation.
A) Ball bounces into the endzone for a touchback.
B) Ball takes a good bounce. (Not towards the endzone)
C) They actually down the kick.

Yeah, I agree on that. A few of the "analysts" have said that Lee can lead them to the National Title game but I just can't see it. No chance they beat 'Bama with him and I'm sure they trip up somewhere else.

Craig James just said this is THE best division in college football. Dude, you cannot say that when it's ******* 6-6 in the 3rd quarter. This isnt a defensive struggle, a smashmouth game, or even a field position battle.
